Full-Home Design in Kenilworth

Full-Home Design provides comprehensive interior design for your entire residence. We design all interior spaces, from initial concept through finishing touches, creating a cohesive home.

What we do

Our process begins with a Design consultation to understand your home's scope. We then present your design, including drawings and material concepts. Construction documents detail the design for your contractor, and Material selections specify all finishes and fixtures. We conduct Jobsite inspections as construction progresses, and add Finishing touches to complete your home.

Who it suits

This service suits newly built homes in Chicago, Southwest Michigan, or Atlanta. It is also for homeowners undertaking major renovations of existing houses, such as a historic bungalow in Atlanta or a lake house in Southwest Michigan.

Questions

What is included in Full-Home Design?

Full-Home Design includes a Design consultation, Presentation of your design, Construction documents, Material selections, Jobsite inspections, and Finishing touches for your entire home.

How does Full-Home Design differ from your other services?

Full-Home Design covers all interior spaces of your home, unlike Kitchen Design, Bath Design, or Living Space, which focus on individual rooms. It includes documentation for construction, which Furnishing & Styling and Color Consultation do not.

You receive a complete set of Construction documents, including drawings and specifications, along with detailed Material selections for all finishes and fixtures in your home. We also oversee the Jobsite inspections and Finishing touches.

How long does a Full-Home Design project typically take?

The duration of a Full-Home Design project varies based on the size and complexity of your home. We will discuss a timeline during your initial Design consultation.

How do you work with my contractor for Full-Home Design?

We provide your contractor with Construction documents, which detail the design for their build. We conduct Jobsite inspections to ensure the design is implemented correctly during construction.

In Kenilworth

Homes in Kenilworth

Kenilworth features many 1920s and 1930s brick and stone homes, often with smaller, enclosed kitchens that homeowners now want opened up to living spaces. We often help with Kitchen Design in these homes, creating more open layouts. Many homes in Kenilworth, including those built in the 1950s and 1960s, have basements with lower ceilings that benefit from our Basement Remodel service, making them feel more spacious and usable. We also see many 1980s and 1990s two-story homes with primary bathrooms that are split into two small rooms, prompting requests for Bathroom Design to create a single, larger space.

What homeowners in Kenilworth ask for

Homeowners in Kenilworth frequently engage us for Kitchen Design to update 1920s and 1930s kitchens, often removing walls to connect them with dining areas. Many also seek Bathroom Design for primary suites in 1980s and 1990s homes, combining smaller, separated spaces into one larger, more functional bathroom. Basement Remodel projects are common in 1950s and 1960s homes to improve the usability of lower-level spaces. We also provide Full-Home Design for larger renovations in Kenilworth's classic homes.

Full-Home Design work from the studio

About the studio

Two sisters, one studio

Jennifer Peterson founded J. Peterson Design in 2008 and leads our work in Chicago and Southwest Michigan. Her sister, Jill Kearns, leads the Atlanta studio. Together, we design homes that feel considered and beautiful, but also comfortable, functional, and personal to the people who live in them.

Although we work in different cities, we operate as one studio. We talk through plans, share ideas, question each other, and bring another experienced set of eyes to the decisions that matter. Being sisters makes that collaboration especially natural — there is a shorthand, an honesty, and a shared standard that has been there long before the studio.
